Cork-headquartered HR technology company CoreHR is to create 300 jobs through the expansion of its operations.

Along with Cork, the majority of the new positions will be located in Kilkenny and Dublin – where the company also has offices.

A small number of jobs will be in the UK, where CoreHR also has a presence.

The roles will be across product and development, professional services, customer support, and sales & marketing.

The move will see the company more than double its workforce over the next three years.

The expansion plans are supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.

Based in Ballincollig, CoreHR provides HR software and technology, specialising in cloud-based human capital management and payroll software.

Chief Executive John Goulding said: “After a number of years of strong performance, including 30% revenue growth last year, I am very much looking forward to the next stage of our success story, to expanding our talented team and to continuing our global growth strategy.”
